“Darkness & Light”

Saturday, May 18, at 7 pm: United Church of Strafford
Sunday, May 19, at 7 pm: First Congregational Church in Thetford

Presented by the Upper Valley Voices (formerly the Thetford Chamber Singers) under the direction of Kevin Quigley and featuring accompanist Steven Ionov.

From Henry Higgs email to the Lyme Listserv:

We’re presenting an evening of deeply moving music that addresses the darkness of our times and offers a call to manifest our own healing light.

We’ll sing in Czech, English, Estonian, and German. Songs will be haunting, touching, and sometimes silly, and feature a range of composers including Alice Parker, Jacob Narverud, Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, Antonín Dvořák, Paul Simon (arr. by our own Rebecca Wood), André Thomas, Shawn Kirchner, Rebecca Clarke, Arvo Pärt, Susan LaBarr, Michael McGlynn, and more.  The Paul Simon is an arrangement of ‘The Sound of Silence’ which is quite special.  The Estonian piece will be right at the end of the show and is also incredibly moving (our version is similar to this).

Tickets will be available at the door or online here.

Thank you and I hope to see you at one of our concerts!
